Feeding Your Makeup Addiction

Oh Man…. where do I even start with this post? I have been MIA from this blog for quite some time now and honestly, it’s because I’ve only been buying one brand lately. I didn’t want to come here and sound like I was trying to push this one brand on anyone but I can’t hold back anymore. I’m still not trying to push it, try it, don’t try it…. wait… DO try it! 😉

It’s the best long lasting lip color I have tried. I’ve been wearing it for months now trying to be certain that I was as hooked and committed as I thought I was becoming. In the beginning I kept thinking, “I don’t like this. What’s the hype?” I didn’t like it because it burned my lips in the beginning, not a bad burn, more of a tingle, as in alcohol on dry lips, which was exactly what was happening. It contains SD40 alcohol, which is cosmetic grade alcohol that keeps everything inside the tube sanitary, and aids in the longevity. But, I had chronic dry lips… generally unhealthy lips. I always wanted matte lips, but the matte lipsticks looked disgusting on my dry, chapped, flaky mess of a mouth. Not cute, I tell ya. Then I had distributors telling me to stick with it. That this lip stuff was going to actually HEAL these chronically dry lips of mine. I thought, “Yea right.” But alas, I stuck it out. I wore it every day. Pretty soon, I wasn’t waking up in the morning having to exfoliate the flakes away. My lips were smooth. I couldn’t believe it. I would have stuck with this product for the long haul, for that fact alone. However, the lasting power!! Holy moly you guys! This stuff stays put until you are ready to remove it. I apply it once a day and I’m good all day long. That’s not an exaggeration, let me just link a video right now that shows you what I mean. It isn’t going to budge, smudge, kiss off, get eaten off, nothing.

Tell me that isn’t just awesome sauce! The color shown in this video is the exact color that Christina Aguilera wears. In interviews she has said that she loves it because of the fact that it won’t smear on her microphone.

I also love the below video because she discusses the importance of correct application. It’s so important to apply it correctly to get the best coverage and wear.

I’ve tried going back to regular lipstick you guys. I just can’t do it. I was getting my products from my mom, she was a distributor and selling in her hair salon. Since then, I have bitten the bullet and signed up to be a distributor as well! I can’t even rave about this product enough. It has become my go to lip color. I now own 37…yes 37 colors and I am ready to get rid of all of my waxy products that don’t last or do anything good for my lips!

I hope you guys will give it a try! If you know someone that sells it, get in contact with them ASAP! If you don’t, I will be more than happy to help you out. You can purchase by going to http://www.senegence.com click BUY NOW and use my distributor ID: 180127 to login and get a customer ID number.

I know it has been a really long time since I have been able to post. I was strictly posting from my phone and tablet, which proved to be quite annoying at times. I have finally gotten a new laptop! Yay! So, that means I will be back to posting and blogging regularly. I am so thankful to all of you that have followed the blog and to those that have been visiting from good ol’ Pinterest. My MAC lipstick dupe list is the one that usually brings you all here, but I hope that you’ll stick around and see what other things I have to chat about!

As you all know, everyone is trying to figure out what in the world Kylie Jenner has been wearing on her lips. It’s very 90s, very matte, and oh so sexy. There were, of course, rumors of lip injections from gossip sites and magazines but, if you know about the power of makeup and have a good eye, you can tell in many of her early photos, that her lips are just overdrawn with a darker dusty rose or mauve lip liner. As for her latest selfies, well it’s getting hard to tell. Whatever she is doing, it is gorg. She is rocking it.

Talk around the web is saying that the exact liner she uses is MAC Whirl. As for what lipstick she pairs with it I’ve read MAC Viva Glam II, Brave, Velvet Teddy, or Twig. I say head to the MAC counter and see which looks best with your skin tone to achieve that fab KJ lip.
Other MAC lip products you might check out, that fit this 90s theme is:liners: Soar, Sub Culture + Whirllipsticks: Mehr, Mink, Faux

However, if you would rather not do that I have compiled a list of drugstore products that I have seen used to achieve the KJ look and they look quite good!

While drinking my tea and finally sitting down to read my September Allure issue, I came across something very exciting!

Look close… Do you see it??

Did you catch it? MINI BEAUTYBLENDERS! They look to be an inch in length when dry. Just like the article says, they’re going to be perfect under the eyes and in the creases of the nose. I have to get my hands on a pack of these asap!

Currently, I use my Makeup Geek foundation stippling brush; which is very much like the Sigma F80 flat top. It is great all over the face and then to blend concealer under my eyes, I use my regular Beautyblender. It is amazing for that but a smaller version is going to be ideal! I can’t wait to get my hands on one.

Let me know you’re thoughts. Do any of you beauty lovers already own one?

I was given several of these samples the last time I went to pick my mom’s order up at the local beauty supply. I only have two left and I’ll definitely be purchasing big bottles once these are gone! I love it! It makes my colored hair feel so healthy and shiny. I highly recommend it!

Maybelline Master Shape by Eyestudio: I’ve tried and tried to use this. It’s just terrible. I bought Auburn because I color my hair red. The shade is fine, although not very pigmented, the real issue lies in the formulation. It’s SO soft. You can’t even sharpen it without it breaking. If you do happen to get it sharpened enough to use you will use anything up that is there once you start applying it. It’s just a hot mess y’all! Don’t waste your money like I did!
